Subaru joins the IRC?
A Portuguese website is reporting that Subaru will be soon announcing their intentions to enter the Intercontinental Rally Challenge.
Their sources states that the Japanese manufacturer will sign up with the IRC and field a car in their production Group N class. Despite having canceled its program in the WRC, Subaru believes in the potential of the Impreza with new rules.
